part of the week. High pressure will shift SE into the east Gulf
today and Wed and allow for moderate return flow to develop
across the W Gulf Wed night through Fri.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A 1014 mb low pressure near 25.5N55W is moving 
northwestward. Environmental conditions still could support 
tropical cyclone formation during the next two to three days while
the system moves NW and then N at 10 to 15 kt over the central 
subtropical Atlantic. This system has a medium chance of 
formation over the next 48 hours. Meanwhile, moderate to locally 
fresh trade winds will continue S of 23N through early today 
before diminishing. Fresh trades will pulse this afternoon and 
early evening N of Hispaniola and over the Windward Passage. A 
weak frontal trough will sink S into the waters offshore of NE 
Florida tonight and move SE and reach from near Bermuda to the 
northwest Bahamas by Thu. Ridging will dominate the basin by the
end of the week into the weekend.
